Clari and Salesloft completed their merger on 3 December 2025 and named Steve Cox CEO. In 2026 the combined company moved to one brand, Salesloft, while Clari Forecast keeps the Clari name. If that change has you reviewing your sales engagement platform, the main Salesloft alternatives are Outreach, HubSpot Sales Hub, Apollo and Reply.io. Salesloft does not publish pricing; you talk to sales for a quote.
This page compares those options fairly. It also covers one thing none of them is designed to do, getting a warm introduction to a buyer, and where Boomerang fits alongside whichever engagement tool you choose. Boomerang is not a Salesloft replacement.
What changed with the Clari and Salesloft merger?
The merger closed on 3 December 2025, with Steve Cox appointed CEO. Salesloft is now the company and platform brand. Clari Forecast retains the Clari name, and Clari's revenue intelligence, deal management and conversation intelligence capabilities continue under Salesloft. The company says product integration is ongoing and that workflows will not change immediately. Searches for Salesloft competitors rose sharply in the three months to September 2026 in Google Keyword Planner data.
What does Salesloft do well?
Salesloft covers sales engagement (Cadence), conversation intelligence, deal management, rep workflow (Rhythm) and, with Clari, forecasting and pipeline inspection in one platform. For enterprise teams that want engagement and forecasting from one vendor, the merger strengthens that case.
How do the alternatives compare?
| Tool | Best for | Starting price | What it does well | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outreach | Enterprise teams wanting one engagement and deal platform | Quote based (seats plus AI credits) | Sequencing, deal management, forecasting, relationship maps and AI agents | Consumption pricing needs planning |
| HubSpot Sales Hub | SMB and mid-market teams on HubSpot | Professional from $90 per seat a month billed annually, plus a one-time onboarding fee | CRM and sequences in one place | Sequences start at Professional |
| Apollo | SMB and mid-market outbound teams | Free plan, paid tiers on apollo.io/pricing | Contact database plus sequencing | Lighter enterprise forecasting |
| Reply.io | Teams running high-volume multichannel outreach | Free plan; Reply Unlimited from $166 a month | Multichannel sequences with built-in data | Lighter deal and forecasting features |
| Staying on Salesloft | Teams that value engagement plus Clari Forecast | Quote based | One vendor across engagement and forecasting | Plan for integration changes over time |

Which Salesloft alternative fits your team?
Enterprise team that wants one vendor for engagement, deals and forecasting: compare Outreach with staying on Salesloft. Team that already runs on HubSpot: Sales Hub Professional keeps CRM and sequences together. Smaller team that also needs contact data: Apollo. High-volume multichannel outreach on a published price: Reply.io.
What none of these do: warm paths
Every option above helps you send better outreach. None is designed to find who already knows your buyer and get the introduction made. That is a separate layer. Boomerang AI is a warm introduction platform. Its agent, Rudy, maps who already knows your buyers across four connector types (your team, investors and board, customers, and partners), scores each path on 80+ signals, drafts the ask for the person who should send it, and tracks it to the meeting. The relationship owner approves and sends every ask from their own account, and it works alongside Salesloft, Outreach or HubSpot rather than replacing them. Armis used Boomerang to find 26K+ warm paths into its top 5K accounts, with 10x ROI on revenue booked. Starter is $80 a month billed annually ($100 month to month), Team is $1,000 a month billed annually ($1,200 month to month), Company is $30,000 a year (annual only) and Enterprise is custom.

Frequently asked questions
Did Clari and Salesloft merge?
Yes. Clari and Salesloft completed their merger on 3 December 2025 and appointed Steve Cox as CEO. The combined company now operates under the Salesloft brand, while Clari Forecast keeps the Clari name and Clari's other capabilities continue as part of Salesloft.
What are the main Salesloft alternatives?
The closest alternatives are Outreach for enterprise teams, HubSpot Sales Hub for teams already on HubSpot, Apollo for smaller teams that also need contact data, and Reply.io for high-volume multichannel outreach with published pricing. Staying on Salesloft is also reasonable if you value engagement plus forecasting from one vendor.
How much does Salesloft cost?
Salesloft does not publish prices; its pricing page routes you to talk to sales. Outreach is also quote based. HubSpot Sales Hub Professional starts at $90 per seat a month billed annually, and Reply.io lists a free plan and Reply Unlimited from $166 a month.
Should I switch from Salesloft after the merger?
Not automatically. Salesloft says product integration is ongoing and workflows will not change immediately. Use your renewal to compare total cost, the forecasting you need, and integration plans. Switching engagement tools is disruptive, so weigh the gain against retraining and migrating sequences.
Is Boomerang a Salesloft alternative?
No. Boomerang does not send sequences. It finds warm paths into target accounts across your team, investors and board, customers and partners, drafts the ask for the right person to send and tracks it to a meeting. Teams run it alongside Salesloft, Outreach or HubSpot.
Can I use Boomerang with Salesloft?
Yes. Use Salesloft for sequences and forecasting, and Boomerang to check for a warm path before an account goes into a cold sequence. When Rudy finds one, the right colleague, investor, customer or partner can make the introduction instead.
